Tuesday 30th March 2010
Independent player protection and standards organisation eCommerce And Online Gaming Regulation And Assurance (eCOGRA) has granted its full accreditation to French software supplier Partouche Technologies.
Partouche Technologies is the online software subsidiary for one of France’s largest private-held gambling operators, Groupe Partouche, and is based near Tours. It develops Internet and iPhone games for its parent firm’s online casino, poker, skill, scratchcard and mobile and sportsbetting operations under the leadership of Chief Technical Officer Nathalie Pereira.
Following extensive on-site testing, inspection and monitoring by a compliance team from eCOGRA, Partouche Technologies stated that its online casino software may now display the standards organisation’s Certified Software seal. It revealed that it also intends to seek further accreditation for its poker operations once in-house development activities have been completed.
“The exhaustive eCOGRA assessment has been a valuable exercise for our management team,” said Pereira.
“It formalised systems and improved some areas of business activity and confirmed that others met the best international standards for best business practice.”
Partouche Technologies revealed that it has also commissioned eCOGRA to provide monthly casino payout percentage and random number generator reviews using live data.
Shaun McCallaghan from the eCOGRA compliance team that carried out the inspection and assessment stated that Partouche Technologies had been well organised, professional and committed to further improvement by collaborating enthusiastically with his team.
